The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall.
— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Soon it’ll be pirating time! Well, privateering, since we’ll have Letters of Marque and Reprisal and, hence, safe ports in the US. ๐ Some of us lads – and a few lassies I’m sure – will be able to hoist the Jolly Roger and prowl the Caribbean for enemy vessels to seize or sink.
And no, Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m not exactly kidding. There’s a bill introduced to Congress granting President Trump the legal authority to issue those Letters of Marque and Reprisal.
S.3567 – A bill to authorize the President of the United States to issue letters of marque and reprisal with respect to acts of aggression against the United States by a member of a cartel, or a member of a cartel-linked organization, or any conspirator associated with a cartel, and for other purposes.
Of course, absolutely nothing will come of this. Nothing! This is just a bit of fun and fantasy. S.3567 is, was, and will remain DOA in committee. It won’t even reach a floor vote, where it would fail anyway, given that Democrats vote against every single bill put forth by American Senators.
Even beyond enemy action or inaction in the Senate, there’s a laundry list of issues that would need to be addressed. While the U.S. Constitution, in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, empowers Congress to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal,” there’s a bit more to it than just commissioning ships’ captains into privateers and setting them upon Venezuelan narcoterrorists and, potentially, tankers violating international and/or American sanctions. A whole legal infrastructure would need to be (re)created, e.g., Prize Courts.
Ah well, it’s a fun thought even though there’s statistically no chance that I’ll ever be able to captain a modern sloop-of-war claiming prizes from Caracus to the Gulf of America.

This is the effect of winning, much like the nearly 2 million illegals who’ve self-deported since President Trump began purging our nation of those invaders. Allegedly, some Muslims are “threatening” to shut down their businesses and flee the country due to the current climate in the US.
Unfortunately, however, it seems to be only a tiny number of them so far, and such threats are rarely carried out. That means we need to do better. We need to inflict true terror upon the ragheads. We need to ensure that every one of their misborn ilk lives in abject terror every minute they stay in our country. We need to give not one moment of peace.

Sadly, this is fake. Damn though, Cartel Boat would be the best game for 2026. Just the butthurt it would cause the democrat filth would make it so. ๐

The above is just a simple chart showing where Americans wish each other “Merry Christmas” versus those enclaves within our borders where Democrats say, “Happy Holidays” out of a combination of hatred for America and fear of those they’ve imported.
